Hi Michael,

Just tried this patch out on my vm testbed system and it still doesn't work for me. The backup file had got to 1.3GB when I deleted the backup file as it was still growing. The normal correct backup file on that vm machine is around 7MB

The above was the case for both running it from the WUI or from the command line from my unprivileged user using sudo backupctrl exclude

Regards,

Adolf.
